### Understanding Reaction Orders

#### Problem Statement:
What is the overall order of the following reaction, given the rate law?

\[ \text{NO} (g) + \text{O}_3 (g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2 (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) \]
Rate = \( k[\text{NO}][\text{O}_3] \)

#### Options:
1. \(\frac{1}{2}\) order
2. 3rd order
3. 1st order
4. 0th order
5. 2nd order

### Explanation:

To determine the overall order of the reaction, we need to analyze the given rate law equation.

1. **Rate Law**: The rate law is given by:
\[ \text{Rate} = k[\text{NO}][\text{O}_3] \]

2. **Identifying Orders**:
   - The order with respect to \(\text{NO}\) is 1 because the exponent of \([\text{NO}]\) is 1.
   - The order with respect to \(\text{O}_3\) is also 1 because the exponent of \([\text{O}_3]\) is 1.

3. **Overall Order**: 
   - To find the overall order of the reaction, we sum the individual orders: 
     \[ 1 (\text{NO}) + 1 (\text{O}_3) = 2 \]

Therefore, the overall order of the reaction is **2nd order**.

#### Correct Answer:
- 2nd order
